The Chair of East Asian Economic Studies/ Japan and Korea (Prof. Werner Pascha, Sven Horak, MSc) organized a program for the delegation on 30 November 2011, kindly hosted by the Fuel Cell Reserch Center (ZBT).
This event was part of Duisburg-Essen´s Institute of East Asian Studies´ (IN-EAST) push to develop closer links between East Asian Studies on the hand and the disciplinary sciences, including engineering, on the other.
The delegation members included company CEO’s and managers from engineering firms, heavy industries, as well as representatives of governmental agencies, research institutes and university professors. The delegation was organized by the Korean Development Bank (KDB) and financially supported by the Korean government; the tour thorough Northrine-Westphalia was coordinated by NRW Invest.
Presentations of relevant university chairs and by the Fuel Cell Research Centre (ZBT) focussed on competencies and latest research projects in the area of automotive technology and alternative energies, especially e-mobility (see agenda below). In sum, four professorial chairs and the ZBT participated.

The Institute of East Asian Studies is co-organizer of the first Asia-Europe Forum on Methods and Perspectives of Risk Analysis, to be held at the City University of Hong Kong on 17-18 November 2011. The event shall serve as a venue to exchange views and approaches on risk analysis among East Asian and European scholars as well as representatives from public authorities and NPOs. The financial crisis of 2008/09 or the recent triple disaster in Japan have made such an exchange of ideas and views ever more timely.

Workshop am 3. März 2011 in Duisburg: Experimental Perspectives on Behavioral Economics and Culture in East Asia
Organized by Sven Horak, Prof. Dr. Werner Pascha, Prof. Dr. Markus Taube, Dr. Gari Walkowitz (University of Cologne).
Culture as a factor for systematic decision making for every single person is still far away to gain a foothold in economical theory. Classic economical models are not flexible enough to discuss the factor culture in human behavior.
An experimental approach might be a good way to explore cultural parameter, their changing dynamics and their influence on economics. But while this methodology has established itself in the western world, it is still in the early stages of development in East Asia.
This workshop wants to support this approach and will present several lectures concerning this topic.
The program can be found here.

Date: March 3, 2011
Time: 11.00 am – 6.30 pm, from 7.00 pm joint dinner
